PRINCE SELLS HIS FANS EMAIL ADDRESSES TO TARGET.. ???!!??!!!

So then, we signed up in good faith, we were never told our PERSONAL information would be passed on (or sold in kind) to TARGET. How do the fans feel about this?
Especially the ones who can't even buy the CD online? It is like rubbing salt into the wounds of international fans.

What gives?

What happened Prince? Surely this goes against everything you preached about personal freedom and privacy. Do you think you are different to the rest of us?

How do you know that happened?
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

wait? what? did you start receiving emails from target?

i've just checked my email and there was nothing from
target in there.

but i live in europe so perhaps they've selected only
the us people since it would be pointless to email me
target advertisements.

if he sold your adresses to target: falloff he sues
people for posting a vid of their baby dancing with a
prince snippet in the bg and then he turns around and
sells your email to a huge corp.

lol disbelief
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Yes I recieved several TARGET emails. It was reported here on another ORG thread, folk have suddenly begun receiving Target junkmails.
I live in Ireland, so it has obviously come from Mr Nelson.

I read it and thought, they won't bother with europeans, but no!, got the junk mails anyhow.

That proves nothing.

I live in the States and have never gotten an email from Target.

I just posted on my thread that I never got an e-mail from Target and I'm not terribly far from one. It doesn't add up at all.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Can't remember which thread, sorry you will have to look around. Several others were discussing it. But listen as I said, I live in ireland, how the hell would I receive a TARGET junkmail. Never have before and then tonight, I checked my junkmail folder to find 3.
